Happy 4th!

This fourth of July Eric had to work so I was planning on staying home. Last minute I decided to take the kids over to our friends Christina & Val's house. We had such a great time! Tons of food, swimming, and fellowship! The kids were afraid it would be "boring" because Christina's kids were out of town visiting grandma, but it ended up being a really nice night. We could see the fireworks from a few different locations right in their backyard! We are so glad we went & really blessed to have such great friends.

Juicing!

A few months ago my mom was diagnosed with cancer...again. It has really rocked our worlds. Back when she was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2005 I did a ton of research. I found Hallelujah Acrea, an amazing ministry! We started juicing and eating better, but for whatever reason didn't stick with it. So here it is 4 years later that we have decided to really get serious about our health. We now drink carrot juice sometimes mixed with greens every morning & every afternoon. There are many days we drink it 3 or 4 times a day. I have actually grown to really like the this stuff! The kids absolutely love having fresh apple juice. It tastes nothing like the juice we used to buy in the stores. We've made so many positive changes for our health and we're looking forward to each day more and more.
